Answer: choice A only

(1,-2) is the only solution (from the list of choices)

====================================

Explanation:

Let's go through each answer choice. We'll plug the coordinates in one at a time.

-------------

Choice A has the point (1,-2) so x = 1 and y = -2 pair up together

y < -|x|

-2 < -|1|

-2 < -1

This is a true statement as -2 is to the left of -1 on the number line. So (1,-2) is one solution. Let's see if there are others.

-------------

Choice B) plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)

y < -|x|

-1 < -|1|

-1 < -1

False. A number is not smaller than itself. So we can cross B off the list.

-------------

Choice C) plug in (x,y) = (1,0)

y < -|x|

0 < -|1|

0 < -1

This is false because -1 is smaller than 0. Cross choice C off the list.

-------------

Only choice A is a solution point for this inequality. If we were to graph the inequality, we would see only point A is in the shaded region while the other points are outside the shaded region.

The dashed boundary line does not count as the shaded region. This visually confirms why point B does not work.

(a) 3 - 2/3÷4/3 × 7<br>(b) [(2/3)/(5/6)]-2/5<br>(c) {(-3/4) +( 1/2)}/{(2/5)-(5/2)}<br>​
BartSMP [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. (3 - 2/3) ÷ (4/3 x 7)

= [(3 x 3) / (1 x 3) - 2/3] ÷ 28/3

= (9/3 - 2/3) ÷ 28/3

= 7/3 x 3/28

= 21/84

= (21 x 1) / (21 x 4)

= 1/4

b. 2/3 ÷ 5/6 - 2/5

= 2/3 x 6/5 - 2/5

= 12/15 - 2/5

= (3 x 4) / (3 x 5) - 2/5

= 4/5 - 2/5

= 2/5

c. (- 3/4 + 1/2) ÷ (2/5 - 5/2)

= [- 3/4 + (1 x 12) / (2 x 2)] ÷ [(2 x 2) / (5 x 2) - (5 x 5) / (2 x 5)]

= (- 3/4 + 12/4) ÷ (4/10 - 25/10)

= 9/4 ÷ (- 21/10)

= 9/4 x - 10/21

= - 90/84

= (6 x - 15) / (6 x 14)

= - 15/14.

If you have any doubt, then you can ask me in the comments.
